These tutorial-style chapters are meant to help you learn about some
of the basic functionality of the Java API. They provide short
examples where appropriate that illustrate the use of various features.

<b>Part II: Reference</b>
<p>
This part of the book is a complete reference to all of the
fundamental classes in the core Java API. The material is organized
alphabetically by package, and within each package, alphabetically by
class. The reference page for a class tells you everything you need to
know about using that class. It provides a detailed description of
the class as a whole, followed by a complete description of every
variable, constructor, and method defined by the class.
